Contemporary. Welsh. Design

What is contemporary design?

For me, contemporary design is a piece of work that has been influenced by the here and now, whether that be our surroundings, vision or beliefs.

Wales is renowned for its spectacular landscape and rich heritage, and for many creative people living here it can be the main inspiration for a new piece of work. 

The products and artwork featured on Casgliad have all taken inspiration from the here and now and have been influenced by the Welsh:

-      landscape

-      language

-      heritage

-      natural materials;

-      it’s people

Connecting us to Wales

The Casgliad collection has been carefully curated to include pieces that are practical and beautiful. It is important to us that the pieces around our homes bring joy and induce a sense of contentment and being ‘at home’. We are all different and each piece is likely to strike a chord for different reasons, whether it's evoking a memory or creating a sense of belonging.

A new way of thinking

Recent times have made us appreciate the small things in life and that less can be more. This might influence how we decorate our homes, having fewer items that mean more to us. We have felt a real sense of community and the importance of supporting small businesses.  Supporting makers and artists is at the heart of our brand whilst also having an appreciation for longevity, and natural and sustainable products.
